For those two:
Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...hat.com>

While those two entries are correct, they don't cover all files, since there
are other common drivers and core modules shared between both subsystems. For
example, the tuner and IR files are under drivers/media/common.

IMO, we should add a more generic entry to cover both. Something like:

MEDIA INPUT INFRASTRUCTURE (V4L/DVB)

L:	linux-media@...r.kernel.org
W:	http://linuxtv.org
T:	git kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6.git
S:	Maintained
F:	drivers/media

Cheers,
Mauro
